Former Vice President Joe Biden said Sunday he would contest the presidential primary nomination at the Democratic convention if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is leading in delegates without securing a majority.
“The rules have been set,” Biden said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Biden questioned Sanders’ take that the candidate with a plurality of pledged delegates the convention should become the nominee.
“I wonder where that view was when he was challenging Hillary when she went in with a commanding lead,” Biden added. “You don’t change the rules in the middle of the game.”
Sanders is the only candidate in the field this year to insist that the candidate with the most pledged delegates should be the party nominee. He held the opposing view in 2016 when facing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
